Nuevas Sonrisas: Our unique classroom toothbrushing program is currently on hold
Our priority is prevention and nothing beats regular brushing with fluoride toothpaste as the least expensive, easiest and most effective measure kids can practice. We added a classroom toothbrushing program to our ongoing education in 2019. We build toothbrush holders, such as the one in the photo, and have installed them in more than 100 classrooms so far. We supply each school with enough toothbrushes and toothpaste for a year.
Due to Covid, we have suspended our classroom toothbrushing program, but we hope to continue it in the future. Meanwhile, we distribute Colgate toothbrushes and toothpaste to 2,500 or more children and toothbrushes to families along with education and encouragement to continue daily brushing at home.
